Advocates of Tariff Reform.

TOLEDO. O., Dec. 3.-This evenings
Blade publishes letters from eighty mem
bers of congress in reply to queries about
revenue reform. Nearly all the answers
admit the necessity of revenue reduction
by from $50, 600, 900 to 500, 600, 900, but
there is a great diversity as to now it is
to be effected. Democratic revenue re
formers strongly urge a reduction of tariff
on all articles that can be called the nee.
e~ssaries Of life, and generally favor the
retention of the internal revenuc taxes,
except on tobacco. Republicans and Ran
dali Democrats, as a rule, insist upon a
retention of tariff except on sugar, and
advocate the abolition of nearly all inter-
nal revenue taxation, the most common
exception being whisky. More pro-
nounced protectiohists advocate the
e,tlre repeal of the sugar duty
and the pawn aDtof bounties to
sugar growers. There is a general ex-
preston among the Republicans and some
Western Democrats in favor of larg. ex-
penditures for coast d~efences. a new navy
and river and harbor improvements. The
postal telegraph also has many support

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The cattle market
is still in an unsatisfactory and unproft-
able condition. Sellers started out more
hopeful and things at the yards assumed
a somewhat better aspect. 1t was be-
LEVIED that the sharp decline that had oc
Cured in freight charges on dressed beef
for eastern points would develope a good
demand and receipts were below the aver
age in point of numbers. However, buy
ers were not anxious to purchase nor was
this to be wondered at when the immense
quantity of beef forwarded the previous
week is taken into account. Advices
received from New York and intermed-
late points were unfavorable. The retrig-
orators Of the dressed beef firms are
packed full and the advance in the price
of beef abroad does not seem to cut
much figure. From the start receipts
were largely of common grades and to
wards the last the average quality was
probably the poorest of this y ar.
There were some good steers here and
a few that were better than are often
seen, but the great preponderance con
sisted OF inferior stuf-cattle not good
enough to meet the requirements of the
Eastern markets. Hence anything that
would not sell above 81 40 could not easily
be moved at l5c. decline. Good to fancy
beeves met with a well sustained demand
and are salable at full prices. The firm
ness, however, is wholly due to Il scarcity
of these goods. and for the same reason
fancy steers have not changed much for
some months. Farmers should hold back
their stock now in order hat the market
may rally from its phenomenal depres-
sion. Then, as the time for receiving big
runs from the northern ranges is over.
past experiences would argue an upward
tendency of prices from now on, although
leading deal, rs look for no great improve
ment until after Christmas The range
of prices has been 81 75@5.7 rs, though
from So 80 tn 81 IS took the major part
OF the offerings. The lot for which SIS rs
was paid was as choice as any ever seen
here.
Butchers stuff drags and prices are
lower. Supplies have been materially
larger than the needs of the trade de
handed. Butchers want but few and
canners are taking less than usual in spite
OF the TACT that receipts Of range stock are
reduced tosmalI proportions. Everybody
loaded up asst week and the market is still
full of poultry and game.
Stockers and feeders continue fairly
active and firm. Farmers and feeders are
here IN quest of stock, and for all suitable
lots prices are easily sustained. Still sup
plies are running pretty large.
Poor rangers are slow aud weaker and
there are scarcely any good qualities offer

and Colorado Texans. Receipts are, of

dlction and not with any intent of endeav,
orlng to enforce the vexatious claim in al
arbitrary manner As a matter of fact

The Harper Trial.

trial was resumed to-day. w. II. Chat
field and Sol z. Kineon. directors of the
Fidelity bank. testified that the board did
not authorize the issue of a certificate Of
deposit to the Chemical National bank, of
New \ ork. nor the payment OF drafts to
Chicago grain brokers. The board had
never been consulted with reference to
the issue of any certificates of deposit.
The most breezy witness thus far heard
was Albert 2. Gahr. who testified that he
was secretary OF the Swift Iron and Steel
company, and treasurer of the Riverside
Iron and Steel company; that the last
named company had no assets when or
ganized, and never acquired any, yet it
procured a call loan from the Fidelity
National bank of 800. 900 on its own
note, endorsed by E. L Harper. He
detailed the circumstances of his trip TO
Chicago on June IA in company with
Wiltshire. He said he was instructed by
Harper to go, and was told that Wilt
shire would get aboard at Cummlnsville
with 5000. 900 which witness was to take
charge of and deliver to Wiltshire in
Chicago, if Wiltshire could make an ar.
rangement with the Chicago D rites. He
gavera package to Wiltshire in Chicago.
H: Stewart, trustee in the assignment
of Il. L Harper. testified that he found
the assets, valued at 100000. Harper's
liabilities are over 81, 200, 900.
j.. FL: Water, general bookkeeper, told
of the New York draft that put.S300, DOC
to Harper's credit. He was ordered by
Harper to conceal this fact. On June IA
Harper ordered him to put out 81 200, DOC
to the Chemical National bank for dis
count.
Court adjourned until Monday before
the bookkeeper's testimony was all in.
